Joint venture DII established and ready to take up work
Munich – A unique industry initiative to develop a reliable, sustainable and climate-friendly energy supply from the deserts in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is now taking shape. Today in Munich the articles of association for the DII GmbH (limited liability company) were signed by the group of founding members consisting of twelve companies and the DESERTEC Foundation. The DII aims at accelerated implementation of the DESERTEC concept, as proposed by the DESERTEC Foundation. This work of the DII will entail a thorough analysis and the establishment of a framework for investments to supply the MENA region and Europe with power produced using solar and wind energy sources. The long-term goal is to satisfy a substantial part of the energy needs of the MENA countries and meet as much as 15% of Europe’s electricity demand by 2050. More

Novel Laser Coding Technology for Pharmaceutical Glass Containers
Glass syringes can now be individually coded / Safe process free of micro-cracks / Reliable Track & Trace
A completely new innovative laser-coding system enables glass containers for parenteral use to be clearly coded at the glass syringe manufacturer and tracked from production to end customer. This innovation can help pharmaceutical companies to
develop a reliable Track & Trace system and further reduce the risk of mix-up of syringes and batches. At the same time, this laser-coding technology is an effective means to counter drug counterfeiters. More

SAW Torque Sensors for Automotive Applications Help to Improve Fuel Efficiency
SCHOTT has developed a unique new hermetic sensor housing for Transense’s SAW technology, assisting tomorrow’s automobiles to go greener
Landshut/Germany, 20 May 2009 - Automotive manufacturers have been waiting for these for some time: torque sensors that allow for exact metering of driving power, shifting operations, and steering movements that increase driving comfort and reduce fuel consumption, as a result. However, to date, no sensor has ever been able to meet the demands with respect to performing exact measurements and remaining hermetic over its operating life – typically at least a quarter of a million kilometres. In working together with the British sensor technology company Transense Technologies plc, SCHOTT Electronic Packaging has now developed a completely new three-part housing for an SAW sensor that meets all these demands. Serial manufacturing of the new housing will commence soon. More

SCHOTT remains confident despite difficult market conditions
A broad product portfolio, presence in important markets and a strong equity base are good prerequisites for mastering the economic crisis during the 2008/2009 fiscal year.
The current financial and economic crisis also dampens the business expectations of the international technology group SCHOTT. During the first five months of the 2008/2009 financial year, the declines in sales that important customer segments, such as the automotive and semiconductor industries, but also optics, have been experiencing has also resulted in weaker incoming orders at SCHOTT, of course. Nevertheless, the company remains optimistic, due to its solid financial structure and the promising potential that many of its products hold. “SCHOTT has a broad product line and is present in many different regions. These are good prerequisites for mastering the crisis,” emphasized the Chairman of the Board of Management, Professor Udo Ungeheuer, at the Annual Results Press Conference held in Mainz. Group sales are expected to remain at least at the same level as in the 2007/2008 fiscal year (2.23 billion euros), with lower EBIT (2007/2008: 289 million euros), however. More
